The Wilson Sanitariun9 This excellent in
stitution, situated on the Western Maryland Rail
road, near Pkesville, is enjoying high degree of
prosperity and its usefulness and value has been
especially illustrated this year, as more delicate
mothers and ailing children have availed them
selves of its advantages than at any time since it
was opened. 1t is summer retreat for sick chill
dren under three years of age 1t is free in every
respect, there being charge for railroad tickets,
food or medical attendance. When the child is
very i'll it is permitted to remain at the institution
with its mother or nurse for several days. Every
day except Saturday and Sunday, at 7.20 a. m, a
special train leaves Hien station for the retreat.
On Friday the excursion is for colored mothers
and children only; on other days for white mothers
and children exclusively.

Shrewsbury and Vicinity.-Mrs. Nathan
Shelter, of this place, wife of Nathan Shelter, un-
dertaker died on Monday last, in the Is year Of
her age. About two years ago the deceased fell
from O chair upon which she was standing and
striking her head against wooden vessel received
severe injuries. Softening of the brain ensued,
causing her death.
On Tuesday Mrs. Maggie Edie, of this place,
aged AZ years, died from the effects OF cancer In
the breast. She was great sufferer.
This is dull season for everybody except the
farmer, who is as busy as he can be with hay
making and harvest. The hay crop is good but
wheat is poor. In a trip to Delta on Wednesday
found the grain very poor except in Delta.
If the Maryland Central Railroad was a broad
gauge and would extend its line from Delta to
Stewartstown it would pay twice we'll as it does.
It seems to those interested ought to see to it,
It would give an outlet for the slate without the
expense of reloading, and give railroad route to
the city from one of the richest agricultural and
mining districts in this country. I do not hesi-
tate to predict that it will be built before many
years.
noticed in my trip that Fawn township has the
best roads, and Hopewell township the most. The
Fawn people use the road scraper, which is great
machine for road making.
Fawn Is temperance town. 1t is good thing
to be temperate, but business is extremely tenn
perate too. The town looked to me as dead to
business as it could be.
Stewartstown has O railroad which has ten :
dency to improve business, but the variety OF
tastes is so great that it suggests many ideas OF
business which will be difficult to harmonic into
any very great enterprise Of modern tendency.
However, the world is before these people and ii
their sel6shness does not spoil them they may
succeed pretty well in the long future. 4.

A Proposed New Road.-An effort is about
to be made to have public road opened, starting
from point on the York turnpike, near the Ten
Mile House, and running through the farms of
Messrs. Talbot, Kelly, Warfeld, Bosey and others
to the Dulany's Valley turnpike at or near Bosley 5
old shops. The length of this proposed road
would be something over two miles and it would
be great improvement to the section through
which IL passes, besides the advantages 1t would
offer to the public generally. Such road has
been an absolute necessity for many years and we
hope no time will be lost in having it opened.

Brother Streett's New Cane-The BeIair
Democrat of last week says: "a new industry
has lately sprung up in Belair, called the s'tin
cane industry" and our timers are profting by
the invention. This industry consists of the man
ufacture of canes for use at camp meetings. They
are long, hollow tubes with removable cap on
the top end, and solid bottom They are painted
oak or cherry, or any other color the owner may
wish. They are said to be useful at any time, but
the inventor especially designed them for camp
meeting use, to "take something" in them and
always have that something handy"
This cane was a brightidea of Brother Streets,
and it took him long time to evolve it. 1t is
strange indeed to what extent those Beair people
will go in matters of this kind We have even
known them-but never mind. 1t may not be fair
to give them away.

Brutal Negro Assaults a Little Girl
His Prompt Arrest.-We are again called upon
this week to record another brutal assault on a
little white girl by fendish negro, the scene Of
the outrage being in the Sd district not far from
the place where Howard Cooper assaulted a young
lady and for which crime he was lynched by q
party of Infatuated citizens. The victim of the
present case is Viola Jackson, aged eleven years,
daughter of Mr.. George jackson, who lives near
Pmlico. The child, in company with her brother
aged ten years, was engaged Tuesday afternoon
picking berries along a road in the rear of Mr.
Joshua Parsons property, at Arlington, when
negro named Jim Jackson, came along and en-
gagged them in conversation. Jackson said he
could show them where they could get more ber-
ries and suggested that the boy 60 home for a
larger bucket. After he had gone Jackson picked
the girl up and ran with her to an unoccupied
house on Mr.. Parsons place, where he attempted
to assault her. She fought with all her strength
and calling loudly for help, her assaiant finally
became frightened and releasing her, made his es-
cape. The child ran across a field to Mr.. Mer-
ceron's place, where some men were at work, and
informed them Of what had taken place. Word
was at once sent to the county police and Sergeant
Chambers and Officer Miller went in pursuit.
They traced Jackson to the farm of the late P. II.
Walker, near Pikesville, where he had been work
ing and where they arrested him. They took
their prisoner to Justice Poles Office and from
thence brought him to Jail here.
The perpetrator of this crime is black, burly
looking negro, about thirty years old and
weighing 10 pounds. He has always borne a
bad character, being a notorious thief, and has
already served couple of terms in the peniten-
tary and one in the county Jail. He is the same
man who was badly wounded by a spring gun
time ago while trying to steal chickens at the
| McDonogh farm.
